Knowledge graph centered on Dynamic cone penetrometer technique with 49 nodes and 143 connections. Top connected: groundwater storage dynamics, leaf water content, streamflow, Colorado River, elevation gradient.
Direct measurement of soil depth using auger drilling to bedrock contact, validated with cone penetrometer resistance profiles. Distinguishes mobile regolith from weathered bedrock layers.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 1 paper using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — A hybrid data-model approach to map soil thickness in mountain hillslopes (2021), Earth Surface Dynamics. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
